Online Orientation

To get the most out of your Butler Online experience, we recommend that first-time users attend an orientation. Orientations are scheduled at the start of each term in the L.W. Nixon Library on the El Dorado campus, and the Andover High School library in Andover.

During the orientation, you will be introduced to Canvas, the current Learning Management System. If you are unable to attend an orientation session on campus, please be sure to review our Virtual Online Orientation. This orientation takes the user on a tour of the online environment from virtually anywhere.

To participate in orientation, you should be prepared to use your Pipeline username and password. Helpdesk personnel will be available to provide assistance with this information. It is also helpful to have a copy of your course schedule at hand.

Participants are welcome anytime during the scheduled blocks of time. However, plan to arrive at least 20 minutes before the end of the session. If a first time online student is unable to attend a scheduled orientation, it is the student's responsibility to contact the instructor with any questions about the course.
